O currículo na sala de aula: o uso da informática na educação

Abstract

During the course of the history of the education and the human history the major aims of education have been the active incorporation of the men in the world where they live, allowing them its comprehension and change, preparing them to the present and future. So, it is necessary to reconsider: which knowledge will be useful to an action on the present which take the future into account?; which tools (considering the named technologycal novelties) will be efficacious to achieve this major aim?; which way allows one to, effectively, change the level of people life, also transforming the present structure of the system? When priorities are defyned, we realise the importance of the articulation between the knowledge, the information, the new technologies and the education: it is on the group of these relations that the social and personal progress hapen, in the search for a plenty citzenship and the politic, social, economic and ideological autonomy of a society .... The present study intends to discuss a theme which is very much important nowadays: the new technologies on the educacional cenary and, more specifically, the use of educational software as material of teaching-Learning, i.e., the information technology and its relation with education, taking into account that such a relation cannot be understood without a critical analysis of how the process of knowledge and information hapens nowadays, more precisely in a society known as technologic.
